THUMBS Up so people know:
In the island that's blocked by some guy you have to fight early in the game (2 giant toads, 1 giant snail, 2 orcs, 1 big blue), there are 3 treasures, which contain the following: Ak74u, Fortitude necklace (-1 accuracy, +4 strength) and a Four Leaf Clover (-2 accuracy, +3 dexterity, +3 vitality, +2 strength). Kinda useless if you ask me, since you'd have to be far in the game in order to beat this guy, and the equipment you'll probably have is waaaay better than the ones you'll be rewarded with. Thumbs up so people don't waste their time going back and forth!
i've reached mars on the 3rd day. i'm telling you, it's PURE LUCK. all you need is a really good 1st day, and you're fine. Just choose the correct upgrades.
